Died twice in 24 hours after update. DO NOT UPDATE
Replace a new one
Massive drain. SUCKS. Hoping for quick fix
Sameee here, 100% charged at 6am when i pop it on, almost dead by 8am
Yes it’s a major problem from the Apple Watch 10.1 update major battery drain!! https://9to5mac.com/2023/10/26/apple-watch-battery-drain-watchos-10-1/
Took AW6 (10.1) off charger at 5am. It’s dead at 4pm and I’ve done nothing strenuous today. This is outrageous 😡
Count me in. I walk my dogs & listen to Apple Music. The watch crashes with 70%. When it comes back it is at 10% or less.
OP, did 10.1.1 fix the problem or not?
Can confirm, this .1.1 update dod fix the issue. Dropped battery by the minute before I updated it
Sent my watch into Apple the day I posted this and actually just got my replacement watch
Any updates? I still have this scary fast drain on latest beta
Updated to 10.1.1 and all good
I keep coming back to this post because I feel like no one anywhere is talking about this and I’m so depressed because I want to use my watch and I can’t
On your iPhone, open Watch app. Click on General and scroll down to bottom to diagnostic logs. Click. If there are problems with your watch, this is where the information is written that developers want to access. This comes from years of being a tech analyst. lol. Open one. You can see at the top of the log that it is on 10.1 and the build should be (21S67). This is the same bug that was in 10.1 beta two that was patched in 10.1 beta three. My guess is they forgot to patch the release candidate.
The last one for me was 5 days ago. As it stands now, my watch died yesterday with almost no notifications. I watched it rapidly drain. I thought it was because I have an S5, but seeing people report this issue with an ultra is insane. I’m basically living on low power mode in hopes that helps even slightly but ive already missed important messages so I’m kind of stuck with having to turn it on or turn my ringer on, something I haven’t needed to do since I got my series 1 watch.
I’ve basically left mine off of the charger and will wait until the patch comes out. I’ve tried the recommendations that people have posted about unpairing and setting it up as a new watch with no complications. it’s still doing a rapid drain. Really surprised that this one got past apples QA team when testing the final release.
I don’t even think this is an update issue it might be a Apple server issue or something crazy like that, my S3 has been draining like this all the sudden as well with 100 percent battery health and it can’t even receive this update
Any Apple Watch from 3 and back can’t receive any update starting with iOS 9. It’s in their website. So basically that Apple way of saying the s3 is going to be obsolete soon.
As I said in the original comment, I’m aware I’m not able to get the new updates.
